Transcoding 1080p not using HW Acceleration

do you have a 1080p file that you know works?
the 4K content works without issue

You can transcode all 4K to 1080?

yes and 1080p to 720p but not original 1080p to a lower bitrate 1080p

I need to look…

Why do you need be so weird ?

Back down.

I am pursuing another angle… this is eery

yep that works, HW acceleration is working for that 1080p file you sent me

I need your help.

Grab the logs please and attach.

PMS Version 1.29.2.6364
Logs:

Please leave these all here.

I am going to ask the transcoder team to come in and look at what’s happened here.

No problem I will leave it as is, let me know if you need anything else

Thanks for your help, much appreciated

@luke21

You still around?

If so, can you quick check 1.30.1/1.30.2 with 720p input to see if HW engages?

Can you also please get the XML and attach?

The engineer has asked if we can fill out the test matrix.

Also , here’s the file she’s using to repro with.

Video-5s.zip (2.1 MB)

Should work with 1.29.2, fail with others.

EDIT :slight_smile:

ASAP please… She is ready to charge in as soon as we can fill out the matrix.

(my fault for forgetting)

Suspect is weird driver stuff in the lower layers.

alright upgrading now, will let you know shortly
